Fatto a Mano in Brighton and Hove

An attractive slice of the Mediterranean wedged into the end stage of London Road, where from a small terrace and pavement area you can watch the shenanigans from the best Brighton has to offer. Will Terry successfully navigate home after an afternoon bender in the World's End? Where will Bill end up after his dramatic argument with Susie over who was supposed to buy milk? Entertainment is laid on for free at this lively pizzeria delivering an impressive bonus of a time machine to get back to the 80s: I started with a Campari Orange Spritz, and could have continued with an Aperol Spritz, but felt it was important to return to 2022 before causing a time paradox.

Came for an evening meal. It was quiet so we easily got a seat. The staff serving us was very friendly and accommodating. The food came quickly and was tasty!

The food is delicious. The service is superb. I am a vegetarian and the server was kind to explain the details and customize for us.

Very quick service. Gave us free rosemary fries which were soooo good.

Excellent pizza, including gluten-free. Really good deal from the kids menu. Perfect service. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Best pizza I've had in a while.

Immm mamma-mia! i like here? Gluten-free pizzas are delicious. I've been eating pizza for a long time and I allowed myself to…and this place was really worth it! I ordered a margarita pizza. If the music playing was in Italian, I could feel like I was in Italy.🤪Thank u so much guys.

Great food and fantastic service as always

Delicious food with a good variety of choices of pizzas and other sides. We had five different pizzas and noone wanted to share theirs they were so good. Rosemary fries also ordered by two as sides. These were a hit too. Lovely, friendly service and we enjoyed the outdoor seating on a beautiful sunny (rare!) day. Recommended by all five guests.

A great place for a pizza. We went for a meal and a catch-up with our son and his partner to Fatto a Mano - their recommendation and weren't disappointed. An open kitchen is always a good feature and it was interesting to see the pizzas being prepared. Service was friendly and attentive and reassuringly accurate on food allergy issues. The only drawback as an older person was that the seats are quite hard and there's not a lot of elbow room. It was also busy and quite lively on our visit and it was sometimes difficult to hear each other. But the quality and taste of the pizza was really excellent and we look forward to our next visit.

Ordered via a nearby pub, which had an exclusive deal with Fatto A Mano, food didn't turn up, refund was not provided and complaint not responded to.

Good, but the black truffle pizza could have done with more rocket i think

Celebrated a birthday dinner, prebooked a table a week out. Service was amazing, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed Fatto a Mano’s other restaurants in Brighton and Hove. Seating is cosy, and the pizzas are simply the best Neapolitan pizzas you can get with thin bases and super puffy crusts. The special at the time was a unique pizza topped with mussels in collaboration with a seafood supplier in Devon - unique and delicious. We truly love Fatto a Mano!

Big shout out to the folks at Fatto a Mano Preston Circus. We are a traveling youth soccer team from Canada. We were on our way back to Brighton from a late game. We contacted the nice folks at Fatto a Mano and ordered 20 pizzas. They remained open beyond their closing time to allow us time to go by and pick up our pizzas. The pizzas were outstanding! True Italian pizzas! Great food and brilliant customer service. We will return when in Brighton on future trips. Next Level Soccer - Vancouver, Canada

Loved the pizza! One of the best I ever had. I had margherita with extra ricotta cheese. I was served pizza with smoked ricotta at first but waitress came back very soon and apologized for mistake. She returned with the right pizza just a few minutes later. Toilets were also very clean and I liked the atmosphere.

The venue is beautiful, very small but felt genuine, wasn't really noisy despite the small room, the temperature was also perfect even though it was warm outside and you sit in the same room as the kitchen. Staff were great, attentive but also gave us our space. Great menu choices and quick service. Option to take your leftovers home due to generous portions. Very delicious.

The taste of the pizza was very good and the price was very good, the potatoes were very fresh and good, I think it is a place to go if you come to Brightena.

Elliot is fantastic so is Ed Carles and Bea Pier, great food

Great pizza and elliot was a gent

We come here once every couple of weeks because the pizzas and service are consistently fantastic. The fries are the best fries in Brighton. They also now do a caesar salad which is delicious. I can't recommend this place enough.

Nice place where you can enjoy your time sitting inside or outside. Small menu what in my opinion equals to fresh ingredients, also the pizza dough was really good, we all really liked it, however I think the best part of it was the staff friendliness. The restaurant is located in a quiet area, so if you want to go out and chill a bit alone, with family or friends, I highly recommend it.

Our accidental lunch find for a family lunch of 4. Loved every bite of it. Thank!

The service was lovely but the food was all a bit dull and not tasty or exciting. Starters were beige, croquettes were just mashed potato with nothing else to them, the chips were just chips. The pizzas were sloppy and wet, I think the problem is the tomato sauce, just seemed like tinned tomatoes slopped on. Overpriced for what it was. As for the criminal prices for the smallest coke and soft drinks you'll ever get, gobsmacked.

Waited over a hour for pizzas, they prioritised delivery over customers in the restaurant, awful experience!!

Great pizza and speedy service! Only downside was the couple next to us got a free lemoncello when paying, however we didn't.

The gluten free pizza base is incredible. Absolutely delicious toppings. Such a treat.

Amazing food and the starters are good but don't fill up on chips! Dips we're amazing

Pizza wasn't cooked for long enough it had hardly been in the oven ....fries were good olives nice

Delicious pizza, yummy beer and great service.

The first thing I noticed was that the staff are really friendly. We were greeted warmly and all the staff were welcoming. After we got our food, which were in great portions and delicious, the staff made sure we got everything we needed and were okay. Then when we were leaving all the staff said goodbye and they made the atmosphere very sociable and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Located quite centrally, this restaurant boasts a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere with a friendly and welcoming staff. The food here is excellent. We tried their pizza, and it was incredibly tasty—truly authentic Italian flavors that delighted our taste buds. Overall, if you're looking for a centrally located spot with a great ambiance, friendly service, and delicious Italian food, this place ticks all the boxes!

Lovely pizzas, Always good service.

Really good pizza, worth the hype!

Lovely pizza and really friendly staff. What more could you ask for!

The manager was excellent and noticed I was sitting next to my partner rather than across as we came late to dinner and restaurant was quiet. He pulled the neighbouring small table over so we could eat side by side when your food came. Cherry Bellini was great and the pizzas were done well. Note no reservations possible for groups under 6 (possibly just at weekends). Walk in only. Tiramisu was a little basic and more like cake, lacking the boozy soft bit which was a shame.

Great pizzas, the waitress who served us was very good but the older chap was a bit abrupt. I have never come across a pizzeria restaurant that doesn't offer Cappuccino! Apparently they only have small cups 😂 one of our party asked for a double espresso, but was advised the cups weren't even large enough for that...strange bearing in mind the espresso cup was barely half full, when a single was ordered...perhaps they could invest in some larger cups!

So Italian you could be in Italy

Delicious pizza and excellent speedy helpful service. Recommended

Friendly incredibly helpful staff. Lovely authentic pizza.

Really lovely meal celebrating our little girl’s birthday this afternoon. The service from Alex was excellent and the pizza was delicious as alway.

If you are a gluten free individual this is the place for you!!! The pizza was amazing, super tasty!! Would highly recommend

Amazing restaurant and staff was amazing and the food was delicious 🥰👍🏻 I recommend this place

Visited in July. Stunning pizza. Some of the best I've had. Staff really warm and make you feel welcome. Also very affordable.

احب المكان واحب تعامل الموجودين هناك فتاه اسيويه رائعه تستخق كل الشكر والامتنان

Brilliant. Probably the best vegan pizza I've had. Great, friendly service. Very child friendly. Highly recommended.

Pizza as it ought to be done. We went on a Saturday late afternoon and had ample seating options. Is nice and cosy inside with a clear view of the kitchen. Service is courteous and efficient. Pizzas were fantastic and we ended up over eating with no space for the lovely tiramisu we spotted on the other table. Clean toilets. Back soon

Amazing Italian spot in England!!!

The pizza here is the best, so nice and so are the sides. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, really accommodating with allergies too and made my partner with a nut allergy feel rest assured. Love this place and definitely recommend!

Delicious pizzas!! They are a great size and a great price 😆 I love the atmosphere of this restaurant and the friendliness of the staff! Definitely recommended

Wonderful food and amazing service, they even called us a cab as one of our party was an elderly gentleman. Highly recommend.

best pizza in brighton. fresh quality and truly professional staff. it is not the classic Italian restaurant but a real pizzeria. Well done, maybe its too expencive for a.pizza but as i said, It was the best One in Town

Came here recently and had a great experience. Great service, quick and very friendly. The food was also great and a decent selection of beers & wines. The is a nice cosy atmosphere inside and an outside area which is out of the way from the main road. Definity recommend if ever looking for some good, and affordable comfort food.

The pizza I had was exceptionally delicious, instantly transporting me back to the charming streets of Italy. Each bite was a flavorful journey, with the perfect blend of ingredients and a crust that was both crispy and tender. The aroma alone was reminiscent of the cozy pizzerias in Firenze, where I had some of the best pizzas of my life. The cheese was rich and creamy, and the tomato sauce had a delightful tanginess. It was a culinary experience that awakened my taste buds and filled me with nostalgia for the authentic Italian flavors. A truly memorable pizza that I won't soon forget.

Great atmosphere and nice staff

Not a bad pizza, but not the best Neapolitan in London by far. Tomato sauce quite acid. Ricotta and Aubergine pizza tasted quite good but there is much better in London to be honest. The tastiest thing I had was the Bionda beer.

Always awesome for pizzas. Our waitress was super friendly!

I had a lovely pizza, Ham and Truffle Great service and friendly staff. Great location on the North Lanes Plenty of choice of pizza and other authentic Italian dishes also a daily special choice. Looking forward to returning soon Ciao

Had take out. Have no idea how people think this is good pizza. Tastes bad (too sweet too burnt) and in no way authentic to Italy. Way better pizza available in Brighton.

Ordered 4 pizzas for collection and after a 5 minute walk home, they were still hot and tasted fresh. Brilliant food and great, quick service. Not a single bad thing to say about it.

Served us a burnt pizza. Poor customer service

Food was absolutely outstanding!!! They are really serving true italian base !!! Did not expect having my italian experience resurface after 22 years, and in Brighton - what a phenomenal surprise!!

The Vegan Pizza and loaded fries are absolutely delicious. Awesome place 😎

Amazing pizza, hospitality and food!! Highly recommend this restaurant

Excellent service by the staff, the food was great...even if there was too much to finish! Very nice restaurant and we sat outside which was lovely on an August evening!

Top! Lekkere pizza’s en geweldige service. Wat fout gaat wordt goed opgelost! Pizza’s met originele toppings, perfecte korst en bodem. Genieten!

It's very popular in town so I been there for try the Pizza that was one of the best pizza I have ever tasted. Nothing wrong about food, just the service can be more friendly end professional (?) but nothing wrong I didn't have any problems about my meal.

Fatto a Mano London Road provided our wedding party food in July, managed by Xabier Larrea and his team. They were absolutely outstanding! From start the finish, the communication was superb, Xabier was so happy to provide the food for such a special day and did everything we asked so efficiently and with a personal touch. He arranged delivery to our venue and it was exactly on time and perfect, despite the large quantity of pizzas. Our guests absolutely loved the pizzas and sides and quickly demolished them! We are so happy we chose Fatto a Mano and 100% recommend. Some of our guests loved the pizzas so much that they returned to the restaurant the next day for lunch! Thank you Xabier and team!

Lovely experience after a 7 hour car journey. Lovely fluffy dough, the service was swift and a very busy place and popular. The churros at the end were delicious! ❤️

delivery rider really nice note lets you use there toilet and get a drink when waiting for a order respect business that respect there delivery workers.

We came to order take out, was super quick, staff were lovely.

Really good food, and affordable too. We got a pizza, calzone and fries for £27 and left very full (couldn’t finish the fries).

We got a walk-in here at 7pm on a Friday which was great, the service was very fast and there is really broad selection of options on the menu- you can just create your own pizza if you don’t see what you want. The atmosphere was perfect- buzzy but also relaxed. We did feel a bit rushed out at the end but otherwise a very good dining experience.

Choose this down to reviews, so went through the week about 5.30 . I advise on booking very busy at that time. I had not booked and managed to get an outside table. Gluten free bases available. All I can say please visit pizza was amazing, my wife had a gluten free red pizza , I had a white pizza normal base. The service was good very friendly staff and prices reasonable. I am definitely coming back when in Brighton

Really efficient, friendly staff who where running round like mad trying to accommodate the newly released hoards of shoppers in the pouring rain. Went with my parents who had the vegan margheritas and I had the cheesless version and added mushrooms. If it were my experience only it would have been 5* but both of my parents said the vegan cheese was a bit like bechemal rather than cheese. Otherwise the pizzas were great. Fresh, fluffy dough and a rich tomato base with garlicky loveliness. One small point would be to know if the wines are vegan friendly, but this is a common experience across most restaurants and it's rare that they are so I happily had a soft drink.

A very busy lunch service but the waiter, JJ was brilliant. Very friendly and personable. He flitted from table to table making sure every one was happy.

I never write reviews but the pizzas were amazing as always here . As we the staff . But I left my bag behind and when I realised I ran back and the team had saved it for me . Many many thanks for doing that for me

Great pizza, great garlic bread, cold coke. What more do you want on a drizzly Brighton day waiting for a gig at resident records

People told me it's the best pizza in Brighton and I thought to myself 'It's just pizza, it's always good, how good could this actually be.' I was wrong, it's the best pizza I've ever had. Like honestly wow, it's been a few weeks and I'm still thinking about that pizza.

All the Fatto's I go to seem to be a win. Good service, good food! Always a dependable option

La vera pizza italiana nel cuore di Brighton. Il cuoco e napoletano e la pizza e condita è fatta meglio di alcuni locali italiani. Il personale e veloce e preparato e molto cordiale. Ci hanno trovato un posto in poco tempo e serviti velocemente. Qualità prezzo top

La pizzeria Fatto a Mano di Brighton è assolutamente fantastica! Ho mangiato qui una delle migliori pizze di Inghilterra. Buona buona buona! La pizza era deliziosa, con ingredienti freschi e saporiti, e la crosta era perfettamente croccante. Ma non è solo la pizza che mi ha fatto amare questo posto - il personale è stato incredibilmente gentile e simpatico. Sono stati molto accoglienti e disponibili nel consigliarmi i piatti migliori e nel farmi sentire a mio agio. Inoltre, l'ambiente è molto piacevole e accogliente, perfetto per una serata con amici o una cena romantica. Consiglio vivamente di visitare la pizzeria Fatto a Mano di Brighton - non ve ne pentirete!

Great food and super quick service! It’s very hard to do both. Lots of choice for vegetarians also.Best pizza in Brighton

It was first time I tried their pizza. Love the tastes! Everything was fresh and tasty 😋 the service was also nice and Alex was very kind and welcoming! Would recommend this place.

Staff were extremely friendly and attentive food was excellent would definitely recommend

We were asked about our allergies, and when we informed them that one of our party is allergic to cats they were happy to accommodate this and there was no obvious cat on our pizza. A fun and delicious time was had by all. Many...

Very nice and authentic Italian restaurant.

Had their updated gluten free dough today and it was better than ever, crispy and light, I don't know how they manage to make it so well but it's still the best gluten free pizza out there, glad it's back! Would always recommend

Servizio cordiale, la pizza è molto buona!

Really nice place, loved the Italian atmosphere and the staff are so friendly! Great food also.

Lovely vibe, great pizza. Miss their homemade icecream (that pistachio was the Best!)

My order was delivered with half the meals missing. when i called the restaurant, the reply was it is what it is, we are busy and can't do anything about it . the items that were delivered were burnt and cold.

Came on Friday and managed to get a table, both pizzas were delicious and mine was the best GF pizza I’ve had!! We also shared the burrato and pesto which was the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time! Can’t wait to come back already!

Great pizzas, not a great choice of toppings but they are yummy. Much better eaten in than delivered but still good if you reheat abit when they arrive.

Mediocre food, nothing special. Service very poor with rude staff. Walked into empty restaurant to then be immediately snapped at to stand behind the queue sign 2 foot away. Had to wait 25 minutes just for drinks! Waiters very rude to partially blind person who asked for no chilli and then they were served a dish with chilli to be told it’s how it comes and there’s nothing we can do.

Having enjoyed a meal in this restuarant on a previous visit to Brighton, my wife and I decided we would eat there again before returning from a shopping trip. Although early evening, the restuarant was quite busy, with a good atmosphere. Our Pizza's were excellent as was the service. The only downside was the Tiramisu I ordered. This was not up to the standard of the other food. It appeared to have spent some time stored in a fridge and the taste and texture was not up to other tiramisu's enjoyed in other Italian/pasta restuarants. This was brought to the attention of the staff and although it prevented me from awarding this restuarant five stars on this visit, it would not put me off returning.

... for large group, great service from Joaquim. Food was very good,everyone got what they ordered. Some of the pasts dishes were less than hot though, Pizza Carbonara was delicious. Don't visit on a cold day, the "baltic" draft when the door is open, spoils the meal. Not sure how far away from the door you need to sit, avoid tables near door at all cost - we couldn't due to the table length. Gents toilet is a "single" and is awful.

Pizza napoletana con i bordi alti. Ingredienti buoni e servizio efficiente. Tra l’altro in una zona vicino al lungomare, che...

The pizza was very overcooked, and it took over an hour for 2 pizzas to come! At least it was warm. There are definitely better Italian places in Brighton!
